A boy threatening to throw himself to his death has been rescued by a girl who tricked bystanders into thinking she was his girlfriend so as to get close, at which point she embraced and kissed him, allowing his rescue.

Chinese media reports the 16-year-old boy mounted a Guandong province pedestrian bridge, intending to cast himself off and to his death.

Witnessing this, a 19-year-old woman told bystanders she was in fact his girlfriend, and was allowed to approach the suicidal lad in order to talk him down. The pair had never met before.

Rather than a lengthy remonstration with the agitated boy, she soon opted for a more direct approach, embracing the boy and kissing him.

The pause allowed rescue workers to rush forward and drag him to safety, ending the drama.

The boy’s suicidal impulse is said to have stemmed from family troubles – divorced parents, a sickly elder sister and withdrawal from school all contributed to his low spirits, it is said.

The Chinese media and Internet has feted the young woman, who works the front desk at a local hotel, for her bravery and initiative. She only says she “wanted him to recognise the foolishness of his act, as I’ve done foolish things myself.”

Ohh great. Now kids are going to attempt suicide to meet women.

At least there are people out there that care enough about other people, even strangers, that they would actually do something rather than just stand by and watch.

>>3 agreed it was wounderfull that the women was willing to entervien
3 cheers for that women!!

That's a touching story...
Random woman, I applaude you.

That's...so... o\\\\\o cute.
Anyways, I want to know what happened after.

oh great what are boys going to think of next

>>7 i dont... understand. Are you insinuating he had planned for this outcome?? If he did, hes a fucking genius.

Also, this is a pretty awesome story :)

I love this piece of news!Affection does save others!

Well, I would choose getting laid over impending death any day.

Nice way to be saved :)

>>2 Aha.

Well at least he's okay.

The guy is lucky i tried the same thing to get a kiss and anit shit happen

>>14
>>2

WHAT DID I SAY

It's just amazing that someone took the initiative to do that because what might of happened if she hadn't stepped in?

Thank you, bystander woman, for your actions. May others follow your example and help those around them in their most desperate times.

I applaud this woman. She saved this boy's life!

>>15 Lol

It's funny how all it took was a kiss :D

Eh, how interesting humans can be~

Indeed Kanra

Lol... although it's not a lol

tsk tsk

way to go! And kanra, setton what out for the slayshers.

... I thought that was sweet... What the woman did, not what the pathetic sack of... Not what the boy did.

Oi, glad this isn't well known in my state because I know guys who are desperate enough to do this. I'm detestable, but I wouldn't pull a gimmick like this to meet chicks. Well planned or not, he's okay and got a kiss out of it! Plus he's famous. Uen out.

Such a touching story...Personally, this is my view of what the Dollars should be. I know everyone has their own ideals, but I really agree with the way Mikado sees things in the anime. A "good" gang.

i bet shes part of the dollars hehe~ anywho 27 chicken is right this is how the dollars should be like!

Things like these remind me that humankind is wonderful

Lol smart chick

good thinking

I would have never imadined some one doing that

that guy must have been stunned lol

Good work on her part :O

That's... one way to save someone, I guess.

>>2 LOL.

But I applaud her resourcefulness. xD

Also, the girl is cute. o__o (Just watched the video.)

he got cokblockedXD

Go random stranger!! You just saved a life!

Too cute! Sounds like something right out of an anime.

It's like something out of a k-drama (I hope this doesn't bad)! I'm glad she stepped in to help him... that's a lot of stress he was under :(

>>42 Seriously? Your ignorance is showing

>>43

She's from DG, not a BBS member that I'm aware of.

I giggled a bit when I thought about it though - "anyone who suggests suicide needs to die" would mean that all suicide attempters were successful.

What a kind person! Very awe inspiring. Glad she was able to save him. Hopefully he won't try again or something :/ It's good to learn from the woman's example though. I agree with Chicken >>27
Gambare Dollars!

Woow, shes good!

She should be a honorary Dollar

awwwww love saved him ..... i think

Its ok when its a woman, but if it was a girl on the edge and a guy came and did that, He would probably get arrested for rape ><

This sounds so cute and touching. The power of love<3.

Lol!! This reminds me of watching an anime! XDD

This made me actually feel hope for mankind OwO It's so sweet~

>>49 Possibly but I like to think that if a girl did get to that point and a boy did that to try to save her from killing herself, it would be just as sweet and treated the same. But society is...insane when it comes to gender unfortunately

Way to go, peeps.

Wow!!! Inspiration right there! And I agree, this is just like a great start for an anime! ^^

Why do we keep bumping this thread? It was made over a year ago.

>>56 I found it to be quite inspiring. Im glad I saw it.

my stomach hurts (lol)

This story is very interesting. Hopefully it will inspire more to help those considering suicide to become strong enough to deal with whatever they have to deal with.

Wow, I know this is old but, I'd never heard about this until now. This is actually pretty amazing. I know this is going to sound cliche and overused, but's it's like some kind of romance fantasy or anime or something. :o

>>59 >>60 Agreeing with both of your statements ^^

It's funny how just a kiss saved him though. And how did the woman even think of just kissing him? Most people would just try to talk them down or something, hah.

Just want to point out this thread is from 2011.

lucky boy

Lol ! How fantastic ! X'D

*Goes to a high building, pretends suicide*

Uwaaah Fuannai that's just ridiculously... stupid~

Wow x3

At least it ended happily... Poor guy.

Sounds like a scene in some manga :p

sounds like something you would see in movies, manga, or soap operas

did that really and is the guy in jail or what?

why would he go to jail for suicide? most likely he would be sent to a mental hospital.

>>72
Why would they put teens in jail who try to kill themselves? If anything, a mental hospital for viewing. But not unless they were putting other people in danger for their actions.

So wheres the news article? I'm just interested in find the source on the net.

i agree with @TRK i'd like to read all of it and share it with other people. it's a very lovely story, and just like Hibari,P.47 mentioned, honestly i thought something like this would happen in movies/tv shows and stuff like that. anyways, i'm just glad the boy was saved really.

No matter when this happened(2011), this is a touching story we should all probably learn from.
(Not the attempting suicide to get a girl)To be stronger and to help those who seem to be having trouble around us.

First off that is so cute. :)
Second I wish all people would be this willing to stop a suicide. Most people just overlook it and get on with their lives. But these people need to know that there is at least one person that cares for them.

This is beautiful. I love that the woman went so far to save someone's life. I really have a lot of respect for her. It's amazing to see stories like this. <3

>>20 it's extremely interesting to say the least

What an inspiring women, to step in and save a stranger like that just warms my heart! I hope she lives a blessed life.

Good news everyone. (Futurama quote? :D)

Its already being imitated. It has a 10% Chance of getting Lucky.40% chance being arrested.50% chance your dumb **** self falls off the bridge cause your dumb*** slipped.

This is so moving! I know I read this kinda late but wow! Go random stranger! XD
>>27 I agree! This is what dollars should be about! *^*

Can people please stop necro-posting on this?

This is so incredible, that woman, she is a true dollar!
